4 Charging the battery 7 Charging the battery This watch has a battery which is charged by exposing the dial to light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps. To obtain the best performance Expose the dial to direct sunlight for several hours at least once a month. After taking off the watch, put it where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window. Before storing the watch in a dark place for an extended period of time, fully charge the battery. When the watch is covered with long sleeves, for example, the battery may not be charged sufficiently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light even when wearing the watch. Do not charge the battery at a high temperature (about 50 C/122 F or higher). 7 When the battery becomes short of power Insufficient charge warning function When the battery becomes short of power, the second hand moves once every two seconds insufficient charge warning function. Charge the battery by exposing the dial to light. After the battery is charged for a while, the second hand will move normally. If you have not charged the battery for four days or more since the warning movement began, the battery will run out and the watch will stop. The two-second interval movement While the function is activated... You cannot use any mode other than [TME]. ( page 12) The settings of the other modes are initialized. ( page 37) The mode automatically changes to [TME] as the function is activated. 6 7

5 Charging the battery 7 Charging time Below are the approximate values for when exposing the dial to light continuously. Use the table below only as a reference. Illuminance (Lx) Environment Charging time to work for one day (approx.) Charging time to start working normally when the battery is empty (approx.) Time for charging fully when the battery is empty (approx.) 500 Interior lighting 4 hours 1, cm (24-28 in.) under a fluorescent lamp (30 W) 2 hours 3, cm (8 in.) under a fluorescent lamp (30 W) 45 minutes 7.5 hours 10,000 Under cloudy weather 12 minutes 2.5 hours 80 hours 100,000 Under direct sunlight in summer 3 minutes 50 minutes 16 hours <After the battery is fully charged Overcharge prevention function> After the battery is fully charged, charging automatically stops to prevent overcharging, which may damage the battery, or affect the accuracy, functions, and performance of the watch. Eco-Drive This watch has the Eco-Drive system, which converts light into electrical energy using the solar cell beneath the dial. The system makes you free from care of battery replacement and is environment-friendly as no battery disposal is required. Battery duration after fully charging (without further charging) About 8 months 8 9

20 Precautions WARNINGS Water-resistance performance Before use, confirm the water-resistance level of your watch indicated on the dial and case. The unit bar is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere. * WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar may also be indicated as W.R. xx bar. Examples of use Dial WATER RESIST(ANT) or no indication WR 50 or WATER RESIST 50 WR 100/200 or WATER RESIST 100/200 Indication Case (case back) WATER RESIST(ANT) WATER RESIST(ANT) 5bar WATER RESIST(ANT) 10bar/20bar Specifications Water-resistant to 3 Minor exposure to water (washing face, rain, etc.) Moderate exposure to water (washing, kitchen work, swimming, etc.) Marine sports (skin diving) Scuba diving (with an air tank) Operation of the crown when the watch is wet atmospheres OK NO NO NO NO atmospheres OK OK NO NO NO atmospheres OK OK OK NO NO Water-resistant to 5 Water-resistant to 10 or 20 Continued on the next page 38 39

21 Precautions Water-resistance for daily use (up to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is resistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch while washing your face; however, it is not designed to be used underwater. Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (up to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch is resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while swimming; however, it is not designed to be used for skin diving. Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (up to 10/20 atmospheres): This type of watch may be used for skin diving; however, it is not designed to be used for scuba or saturated diving using helium gas. Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in fully (normal position) to ensure the water resistance. If the crown of your watch is the screw down crown, be sure to tighten it completely. Do not operate the crown or buttons when the watch is wet. If water has penetrated the watch, or if the inside of the glass is fogged up and does not become clear in a day, take the watch to your dealer or Citizen Service Center for repair. Leaving the watch in such a state will rust the internal parts and cause malfunction. If seawater penetrates the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately take it in for repair. Otherwise, the pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts (glass, crown, buttons, etc.) may come off. If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with a dry cloth. Keep your watch clean Keep your watch clean to prevent rust or dirt building up on the watch. They may stain your clothes. Wipe off dirt on the leather band with a soft and dry cloth to prevent it from discoloring

22 Precautions WARNINGS Handling the secondary battery Do not remove the battery. When it is required, keep the battery out of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing it. If the battery is swallowed, consult a doctor and seek medical treatment. CAUTIONS Cautions about charging Excessively high temperature at charging battery may cause discoloration and deformation of the exterior, and malfunction of the movement. Do not charge the battery at a high temperature (about 50 C/122 F or higher). Examples: charging the battery by light such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp charging the battery where the temperature becomes extremely high such as on the dashboard To avoid injury DO NOT wear the watch where the temperature becomes extremely high such as in a sauna. Otherwise the watch may become hot and cause skin burn. To avoid malfunction DO NOT use the watch where the temperature is lower or higher than the operation temperature specified in the instruction manual. Doing so may cause the watch to malfunction or stop. DO NOT place the watch nearby any materials generating a strong magnetic field such as: magnetic health equipment such as a magnetic necklace a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door a magnetic clasp on a handbag speakers of a mobile phone electromagnetic cooking devices They may interfere with the movement of the stepping motors in the watch and timekeeping becomes inaccurate. Continued on the next page 42 43

23 Precautions DO NOT place the watch nearby household appliances generating static electricity. Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to such strong static electricity as that which is emitted from a TV screen. DO NOT apply any strong shock, for example, by dropping it onto a hard floor. Avoid using the watch where it may be exposed to chemicals or corrosive gases. If solvents, such as thinners or benzine, or substances containing such solvents come into contact with the watch, discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. may occur. The case, band, or other parts may become discolored if the watch comes into contact with mercury, such as that used in thermometers. Maintenance Daily maintenance Rotate the crown while it is pressed in (position 0) and press the buttons periodically so that they will not be rusty. Wipe off dirt, perspiration, and water from the case and glass with a soft cloth. To clean a metal, plastic, or rubber watchband, wash away dirt with water. Use a soft brush to remove dust and dirt stuck in the gaps in a metal band. Do not use solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may damage the finish. Periodical inspections Your watch needs an inspection once every two or three years for safety and longer usage. To keep your watch water-resistant, the packing needs to be replaced regularly. Other parts need to be inspected and replaced if necessary. Ask for genuine Citizen parts upon replacement
